Teagasc Waterford/Kilkenny Women in Farming Workshop

Teagasc Waterford/Kilkenny is delighted to announce the launch of a new Women in Farming Workshop Series, aimed at women involved in farming in any capacity.

The first workshop in the series is a Financial Work and takes place on Thursday, 19 November from 6:30pm – 8:30pm in the SETU Arena, West Campus, Carriganore, Co. Waterford, X91 XD96. The workshop will focus on helping women better understand farm accounts, make sense of the figures and build confidence in managing and understanding farm finances. Having a clearer picture of the financial side of the farm can help women feel more informed and involved in farm business decisions.

The Financial Workshop will be followed by a Schemes Workshop in April 2026 and a Summer Farm Trip in 2027.

About the Workshop:

Whether you are the main decision-maker on the farm, help with the paperwork, feed the calves, manage the day-to-day jobs or hope to take a more active role in the farm in the future, this series is for you. Farming involves many different roles, and every contribution matters.

The aim of the initiative is to create a safe, welcoming and supportive space where women can come together to share experiences, exchange information, learn from one another and build connections with other women involved in farming across Waterford and Kilkenny.

The series will provide an opportunity for women to ask questions, share knowledge, build confidence and develop a strong network of support. You do not need to be an expert in farming to take part. Whether you are learning the basics or looking to build on your existing knowledge, everyone is welcome.
